Welcome to the blog of Isabelle Fish and Rue Pigalle. At Rue Pigalle, I share my passion for jewelry through women-only bespoke travel experiences. I open the doors to artists' studios, grant you access to the behind the scenes of art and craftsmanship, connect you to world-renown experts to make each trip a fun and enriching experience.

Join me as I share my stories about jewelry as an art, a societal movement, a philosophical proposition.

Feb 28 Sophie's Choice

Much has been written about the Trudeau family sartorial choices during their India trip. How ill at ease Sophie Gregoire looked was striking. Clearly she was not able to dress Inside-Out.

But is she even allowed to? Her dedication to Canadian designers is amazing. But don't you sense a disconnect between who she seems to be (a young, fun, vibrant woman) and what she’s wearing (classic, borderline austere and boring)?

Is it the plight of female public figures? Do their stylists strip them of their personality to conform to certain fashion standards? Wearing one’s style takes courage. It’s already tough enough for us every day women to resist the pressure of our environment (think office, girlfriends’ circle or mother in law expectations). How does one stay true to oneself when your every move is analysed and criticised?

Go for it Sophie, you looked fab in that baby blue Leinad Beaudet dress (although I would have chosen a slightly different shape for you).

I saw the dress at TFW when I met the designer a couple of weeks ago - the fabric is stunning.

My Upcoming Journeys Through Jewelry

Stay in Touch

For as far as we can go back, travel and jewelry have been bound in history. And always they mark a relationship: with others, with places, with traditions, with ideas, with ourselves. In travel we discover who we are. Through jewelry we reveal ourselves.

I believe in stories. The stories of the artists, whose eyes and hands create exceptional pieces of jewelry art, as well as the stories of my clients — impressive women who choose jewelry to deepen their connection to the world.
